A Night of Cleaning Can Lead to Satisfaction

A night of cleaning can lead to satisfaction.

I felt like my mom last night. I came home after work and proceeded to scrub the bathroom and the kitchen. Once I was done I settled in with a beer in hand and relaxed. I had made it my way with a whole lemon squeezed into the base with a seed or two floating to the top and bobbing up and down on the carbonation. I sipped it and watched TV, but the truth was I was not paying attention to the blatherings on the tube, rather I was smiling at a job well done: the unabashed peacefulness I feel when eveything is clean and put in it place. These moments of complete calm are rare for me. I often get so wrapped up being an adult that I forget to relax and have fun on my terms.

Your mom of old. My bathroom is tidied, but not clean. And as for the beer, well it's too much bloat, though it does sound refreshing!
